not hard at all...most fan set ups mount directy onto the radiator with a few zip ties. However, wiring it up can be a little more difficult. You can find the kit, from AZ or Advance, and get the one with the adjustable temp probe that will turn the fan on and off at the temps you choose. The downside to an E-fan set up is the risk of fan motor failure without warning which could be a real problem if it goes out in a mid summer traffic jam. The benefit is the slight horsepower gain which is temporarly lost on the stock fan, although that is debatable, but the better cooling in stop and go traffic is not. I kept my old fan in the trunk, just in case the electric fan ever goes out on me. Cheap E-fans can be noisy, but they dont run all the time, so its a wash. any questions, just ask away....

Get an electric from the salvage yard. Just make sure you have a 35 or 40 fuse and an altenator that keeps up in stop and go traffic and does not drain your battery. Frees up a few HP and a little mpg. Maybe a little lighter also.

with a good cooling system you can also run a dual fan setup. have one on automatic, and one on a manual switch in the cabin.
